I generally keep my old stories and poems, but I wrote a novel by hand back when I was a teenager that's somehow gone missing over the years. I wish I still had that one. All my poems are kept in a box that I haven't opened in a long time, but I like knowing they're still there.

Now that everything's written on my laptop, I keep it all. Whether it's a story idea, a half-finished story, or a first draft that's been sitting there for years, I always come back to them at some point.
Congratulations to all the winners and well done to everyone who took part!

The stories were so much fun to read. It was a fantastic contest.

I have 17 (seventeen) stories here that are "Famous"; that is, with more than 30,000 views each.
Is this very high? Do any other folks have more "Famous" stories than this?


Well done on your achievement, Buddy. That's a LOT of famous stories.

I haven't even written that many stories in total. Three of mine have passed 30,000 views with a fourth coming pretty close. It's only two months old and in the straight sex category so I'm very happy with that one. smile
I haven't received requests for the exclusive online thing before. I used to get chat requests but they stopped a long time ago. I've found coming across as an uptight prude really helps a lot. smile

You've done all the right things when it comes to setting up your profile in order to avoid those kind of messages. The other option is that you can change your settings so that only your friends can send you PMs.

Yeah, I agree with Doll, Jeff, Xuani, and the others who don't think it's a good idea...

I mean, do I really want someone knowing I visited their page 210 times in the last month? I think not...


I agree with you agreeing with the others. I also agree with your last comment. People (including me!) should be left to stalk in peace.


Although this idea's funny:

Will there be a stalker badge?

If so challenge accepted.
My goal on Lush (this year) is to write one story per month for the whole year. It's not much of a challenge for writers who are able to churn out stories at a fast rate but I generally let any little thing distract me. I've found I need to give myself a deadline to stay focused.

It's working well so far. I've been getting into better writing habits that I'm hoping will help me continue on with this for the remainder of the year and beyond.
I can't really play this game because I already know the story. If I'm really into a story it takes me a bit longer to read because I prefer to draw it out. Sometimes if I come across a good line I stop and go back to re-read it just so I can enjoy it again.
I enjoy reading about married couples who have strong relationships and have kept the spark alive between them. I don't think marriage takes the erotic element out of a story. The intimacy the couple shares can enhance the storyline if it's done well.

I don't like seeing kids in erotic stories, though. I'd rather they were left out of it or mentions of them kept to a minimum.
Thank you so much for the lovely birthday messages and the really kind words!

I'm heading off now to see family and friends and to make the most of the weekend. I hope you all enjoy yours!

1 - Why is the other site not publicised anywhere on Lush?



There was a banner up on the Lush homepage for a while advertising Stories Space but we ended up with a whole lot of adult profiles being set up over there with naked pictures in image galleries and used as avatars. Since SS is for ages sixteen and over it didn't fit with the family-friendly atmosphere we'd been trying to create there, so it was easier just to let people know about the site privately. We were getting all kinds of interesting usernames, too! smile

Lisa - If you only drink one beer or so a night, there's no need for you to suffer too!


It's character building. I'm always up for a challenge! smile
I thought it would be easy to go without because I don't drink much, but I usually have one while I'm cooking dinner and I missed it tonight. sad I was very tempted to cave. I held out and settled for water instead.
I'll join in as soon as I finish this beer. I usually only have about one a day but I'll jump on board and give it a go.
Congratulations to the winners and those who placed in the top ten. Well done!

Congratulations on six years! That's a great achievement for such a wonderful site. It keeps getting better every year.

Ok, let met set the record staight, I am not an ass. The way I set it, the selfish thing to do would a divorce. See that way the money I set aside for the kids' college fund would to child support, and I wouldn't be there to take the kids to school in the morning, or take the them the dentist or band practice, or school rehersal, etc. For the sake of the children I'm staying in the marraige. The selfish thing would be to leave.

Incidentally, I was there with my wife when her father and helped clean out her grandmother's apartment when her grandmother had to go into a nursing home. I als listen to her when she complains about "so and so" at work. Yet despite my support support groups etc,. she still hides sweets like an alcoholic hides booze.

Imagine your significant other 75 pounds overweight, often stinky with gas, and poor knees, and kids who need your daily love and attention, and look me in the eye and try to tell me I'm ass. I'm just human.


The problem with this situation is that you're making a decision over your wife's future without consulting her. I understand that attraction is still a big part of marriage even after many years together, but it's better for both of you if you either focus on fixing your problems together or leave. Instead you're letting her remain in a relationship with a man who doesn't want her anymore, which makes it sound like you're merely tolerating her until you can make a break for it without feeling guilty over the kids. She may prefer the idea of divorce so she can be with a man who wants her, or she may prefer the idea of being on her own.

If you both open up and talk about this honestly, you might find a solution to your problems. If you don't feel you can talk to her in that way, or you don't want to talk to her in that way, it doesn't sound like the kind of relationship your kids would benefit from being around anyway. They'd be better off with two parents who are happier apart, than two parents who are miserable together.
A BIG happy birthday to one of the funniest people I've had the pleasure to meet! Hope you have a wonderful day, Steph!

Pardon the wicked giggles, but I've often wondered how frequently that kind of thing happens @ StoriesSpace. I do not envy your efforts there to police your site, Lisa. But you do a wonderful job (along with your other volunteer assistance).



Thank you. That's the busiest we've been! I'll admit to being a bit stressed as I watched the new members turn up with words like "wet" and "boobs" in their names.
If Lush goes down again, I'd just like to ask that people who are visiting Stories Space during the downtime PLEASE remember it's a non-erotic site aimed at all ages. I've had to change usernames of a sexual nature and delete blog posts related to Lush etc. It's really good to see new people there but if you could please remember it's not an erotic story site, that would be much appreciated.
